England battle into finals

England kept their discipline to reach the UEFA Under-21 Championship finals as they snuffed out Romania to earn a goalless draw in Tuesday's play-off second leg in Botosani.

Stuart Pearce's men survived more than one first-half scare and missed two good chances of their own at the Municipal Stadium but their 2-1 first-leg win proved enough to book a spot at next summer's tournament in Denmark.

Chelsea striker Daniel Sturridge wasted the visitors' best opportunity, while Marius Alexe wasted a glorious chance for Romania as England deservedly held out.
